It sold 2.6 million copies at last count.

I think Disco Elysium is a fucking masterpiece but there’s this very strange idea that its an obscure indie darling and not a monumental success that was plastered for months across all the gaming journals and has a massive fandom.

“Nolan, who is so into analog recording that he made IMAX figure out black-and-white 65mm film” and then spent three hours proving himself a poser who couldn’t make the black and white footage look any better than an instagram filter because he didn’t know how to light, stage, or set-design in such way as to play to…

Emilia didn’t need to be told she would become ‘evil’ you know it by book 2 and have it demonstrated in book 3: Daeneyrs is in way over her head, knows far less than she thinks she does, and is doomed by her own ignorance and hubris.

I mean it’s depressing enough that people enjoy the completely visusal and aural incoherence of your average Twitch stream, hard to think AI randomness will be any different.

This more than anything is why I think the Big Two are just going to run into more and more problems at the years go on: less and less people enjoy this kind of cyclical, nothing-ever-lasts storytellings. People like narratve arcs that conclude, characters who change and stay changed and yes - they even like it…

If it wasn’t shit, he wouldn’t have skewered it.

It’s like a zip drive disk, but round and with more storage.
